A superb tale of the controversial life of an American giant. True to the reviews I had read, there will never be another book so thoroughly researched on the life of Wyatt Berry Stap Earp. Great insight into the politics and factions involved in the Gunfight at the OK Corall. Must read if you like your Westerns! Buy it!

Having just finished 'Wyatt Earp: The Life Behind the Legend ' I have to say that this is ,in my mind, the definitive biography of Wyatt Earp.In fact it is possibly the definitive account of life on the frontier in the 'Old West'.
Tefertiller takes us from Earps earliest days,right through to his death in 1929 in amazing detail.He even goes on to relate the many books and movies that have followed his death.
Obviously most of the tale revolves around Tombstone in the early 1880's,and ... Read More

This is an outstanding book on so many different levels. So good that I bought it after I read a library copy!
All those old cowboy films they used to show on the TV--- this is what it was all about. A very short period of time in the 'Wild West'. It makes a really exciting read if you just want to read a good story. But there is far more to it.
Earp was, and remains, a very controversial figure. Was he a good guy standing up to the criminals on his own, or was he a thuggish bent cop? ... Read More

I was pleasantly surprised by this book.This is an amazing story,and one that has fascinated me for many years.And reading this has strenghthened my interest even more.A jaw dropping account,of how the Earps struggled against all the odds,to rid Tombstone of the law-breaking Cowboys.
You're actually transported,back to spare land by the side of Fly's Boarding House,when the shots rang out.And when the smoke clears,two of the Earps are injured,and three Cowboys lie dead.A fantastic insight into ... Read More
